• Why don't Americans trust Trump on Epstein?

  Trump's inner circle are heading to the Vice President's residence for what was supposed to be a secret summit to discuss the administration's strategy regarding the Epstein crisis that has engulfed the President.Polling shows that the American public are increasingly convinced that Trump is hiding something, and CNN says his team are now weighing up whether to publish recordings of the interview with Ghislaine Maxwell and the deputy attorney general Todd Blanche.JD Vance has insisted the President has been "transparent" about Epstein, but Trump's recent actions suggest a man desperate to move the conversation on. He appeared on the White House roof in surreal scenes, shouting answers to the press about lavish plans to build a ballroom on the estate. And in Texas, his Republican allies are now pursuing Democrats resisting efforts to carve up the electoral map in the State -- with calls to get the FBI involved in tracking them down and forcing them back to the State legislature.What will it take for Donald Trump to get out of the political quagmire he has created - and which is now damaging his project?The News Agents USA is brought to you by HSBC UK - https://www.hsbc.co.uk/EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal -> https://nordvpn.com/thenewsagents Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee

• How the Epstein files have turned MAGA against Trump

  Donald Trump's cheerleaders and media outriders are apoplectic with his administration. After months of anticipation that the attorney general Pam Bondi would release an Epstein 'client list' - the names of wealthy individuals that the disgraced paedophile billionaire had blackmailed for influence - a joint DOJ and FBI memo this week dismissed the idea that any such list even existed. Not normally shy to answer questions, the President appeared apoplectic too, with a journalist who asked about his handling of the Epstein affair - all lending to the feeling that Trump is reeling from the wave of anger coming his way from him own base. How has a conspiracy become the breaking point between Trump and his cheerleaders? We discuss with Anna Merlan, senior reporter at Mother Jones and author of 'Republic of Lies'.Later, as armed officers swept through a park in LA in scenes that have been described as "disgraceful" and "dystopian" - is ICE now acting like a lawless militia?The News Agents USA is brought to you by HSBC UK - https://www.hsbc.co.uk/EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal -> https://nordvpn.com/thenewsagents Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee
